Not knowing the right answer at school is not the end of the world. For some students, it’s an opportunity to get creative. Seems like some pupils would go to great lengths to avoid leaving a blank space on their test papers. When cluelessness combines with a great sense of humor, you get some brilliant, witty answers. Here are the twenty most amusing ones.

An imprisoned plant

We’re not sure if any biologist knew that a plant could commit a crime. Apparently, the plant cell is not what we thought it was. When asked to identify the most important parts of a plant cell, a student drew a flower in a cage. Moreover, the most important parts were identified as iron bars and the fact that the plant cage has no windows.

Bob ate too many sweets

Who said that math can’t be funny? A simple task of the subtraction can take an unexpected turn if you take it literally. A teacher gave information that Bob had 36 candy bars and that he ate 29 of them. So, what does Bob have now? A pupil answered diabetes, which is fair enough, considering that Bob ate that many candies.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Moving on to subtraction gone funny. If there are four ghosts, and one flies away, how many of them are left? Three is not the right answer for a kid who doesn’t believe in ghosts. Who can blame him for answering zero?

You’ve got to sit down after the throne is yours

When the teacher asks you about the first thing that Queen Elizabeth II did upon ascending the throne, don’t you talk about her political decisions? Let’s be honest – she had to sit down first.

No risk, no gain

If someone asked you to write an example of a risk, what would you write about? One student cleverly avoided longer descriptions, left the field empty, and simply wrote: “This”. Taking that risk paid off, there is a big, red, bold checkmark. We would have also rewarded the witty risk-taker.

Beyoncé and Saturn

Why does Saturn have rings anyway? Don’t look for the answer in your astronomy books, Beyoncé explained it quite well, and the student used the “Single Ladies” lyrics. According to the kid, Saturn’s got rings because God liked it so much, and put a ring on it. The teacher wasn’t having it, and she wrote a big, red remark saying that “Saturn wasn’t a single lady”. Who knows?!

Selfish giraffes

You see three images and a multiple-choice question. The main protagonists in the photos are two giraffes, two of them can reach the tree leaves, and the third, shorter one, can’t. That’s why a short giraffe remains hungry and dies. The student doesn’t think that the photo depicts Lamarck’s, Darwin’s, or Lyell’s theory, nor Malthus’s principle. Giraffes are simply heartless creatures, according to the student.

How clever?!

Racism is surely not a science, especially not the one about classifying living things. However, the student gave that answer and made us laugh. He or she might not be that wrong after all, but next time, read a little bit about “taxonomy” first.

The country’s problem

Students were asked to give an opinion about ways to solve Colombian guerilla warfare. One student was quite right when he said that the country should have probably been the first to figure it out. We admit it – his honesty is very funny, but next time remembers to always act locally, and think globally.

There is x

We have a right triangle, sides are marked with 3 and 4 cm, and you have to find a hypotenuse that’s marked as x. Maybe the student would have used the Pythagorean theorem if the teacher mentioned the hypotenuse at all. The task was to “find x”, and the student simply circled the one on the triangle. What a way to avoid geometry?!

Everything’s connected

The task was to simply connect questions with the right answers using lines. What if you don’t know the answers? It’s simple – connect every question to every answer. Technically, you scored it all. In the real world, we guess that the teacher marked this as wrong.

Those curly numbers

How are 8 and 6 different? Eight is curly, of course. Didn’t you learn that at school? This kid thought he did.

Cupid Nitrogen

There was a task to write an essay about how a nitrogen atom in the upper atmosphere comes in handy when determining the age of a bone. This student didn’t write about it, moreover, he honestly explained that he doesn’t even like science. He does like the teacher, and he proceeded to ask for love advice. She told him that the easiest way to impress a girl is by talking about a nitrogen atom. At least they share a compatible sense of humor.

A dump truck

What do children know about making a marriage work? Ask that question on a test, and find out.

One kid says that you simply have to tell your wife that she’s pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck. Who taught him that?!

Pooping solves it all

A kid heard that the teacher wasn’t feeling well, and he sent her a get well card – a very honest one. The advice to poop to feel better is written multiple times, there’s even an illustration of the solution. What a comedian?!

Completely right

All documents are signed at the bottom, including the American Declaration of Independence. Oh, you meant the geographical location where it was signed? Oops.

A proud freeloader

The teacher wrote the beginning of the sentence, and kids had to finish it by explaining the way they earn money at home. Frankie had nothing to explain – the little man is a freeloader, and it’s completely fine with him.

In all honesty

One school survey revealed a quite unexpectedly honest answer when a kid described a school in one word. Guess what word was used? Is it really that bad, kiddo?!

Simple

We guess that the teacher will be a lot more specific next time. You can’t blame the kid for answering that 1895 ended in 1896. It’s not even wrong.

Meth???

A kid did it right when writing that 2 + 2 equals 4. Where did it all go wrong, then? The spelling. We hope that someone explained that it’s better to learn those vowels. Explaining the difference between math and meth meaning to a child might have been a little more challenging.
